FRUIT GROWERS ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING HERE FEB. 10 POPULAR Local Horticultural Society Will Be Organized and Subjects of In terest Discussed By Those Mho Know Them. From the interest being tnken in the Hood River Fuit Growers' llor tioulturul meetiutf, to be hold Febru ary 10, from 9 a. in. to 12 m., find 1 to 3 p. ni., in the K. of P. hall, it is now certain that it will be not only very entbusiahtio, but very instruc tive. The whole intent of the meet ing is practical. JNo time will be wasted in blowing about Hood Kiver, but the meet i will get right down to business as Boon as E. L. says the word "Oo" and we will keep up the interest to the end. None of the speakers will eiiKnge in tlightrtif ora tory, but will eoiiUne themselves to good common sense practical talk. hach speuker will limit his talk to five minutes, which will give ample time for a general discussion In which ev ery one who has anything to say will be atforded an opportunity. Undoubtedly a great many are well informed on many subjects, but per haps not every one , Any grower who knows it all can well allord to spend the time to attend the meeting to help the fellow who doesn't. Perhups you may ask why. because if your neigh bor don't cure for hie orchard right, either from neglect or ig'iorance, hit orchard is a constant menace to yours. If your neighbor don't stump out Sun Jose scale or control the oodlin moth, your job is just that much harder, and you have just that many more wormy apples. OoDsaiuently you can well aiford, evon from a selltsh motive if no other, to help with advice, show him how if he is ignotaut and stir him to action if be is lazy. You would be surprised to know that a grower has bad authragnose iu bis or chard for over two years without knowing ho hud it or what to do for it. Would it uot be a help to every body in the vicinity for this niau to clean out this orchard? It is hoped this meeting will be the embryo for forming an auxiliary asso ciation to the state board of Horti culture. Such an association would be of such value to every grower that it is impossible to measure its bonellts iu dollars and cents. It U worth a great deal to be associated with such growers as we have here who are com mon sense, practical people, growing fauoy fruits. We are all working aloug the Bame lines in the same vocation with the same objects In view well kept orchards, clean and fancy fruit and high prices. We doubt very muoh if there will be an auxiliary association formed that will be composed of as high class membeiship, of as well informed fruit growers or an association where mem bers are more anxious to improve and help each other. It seems almost oertain every one attending will learn something, and that such a meeting will benefit every one. and it is to be hoped that the work of this meeting will be so inter esting and instructive that every one will feel good to have been iu attend ance, aud we trust and hope that Hood Kiver can say with pride that she formed the best and biggest auxil iary association in the state and the Urist meeting wus a grand tucceiss. A Few Comiin i Li, Facetious and Other wise, on ilte Speakers by One Who Ought to Know. 0. A. McCurdy will start the ball rolling by telling you there is big money iu bi th strawberries and ap ples. Mao grows 'oui both big, lus oious and red guts a big yield por acre aud does high clans work. You never need to look for cuIIh iu boxes he puts up. 1 U. Church is an expert ou black berries and raspberries and no patch looks better than bis. He gets the yieli aud will tell you how to go at it if you don't know. O. D. Woodworth was one of the first to set chorrier' and has the larg est orchard. He has shipped to Mex ico, Boston aud New York, and no one has had more experience iu this liue than U. 1)., and be promises to let us know all about it. . II. 1 Davidson knows more about cold storage than all the rest of us pnt together, so we expect something from him. O. K. Castner, above all othors, is posted on the subject of Displays. He was manager of "Our Own Hood Kiver Fair," and ho was in charge of the Lewis mid Clark exhibit. He saw the Kastt-i tiers' eyes pop out at our big red u plcH in astonishment and heard tl.etn ask, ''lire they wax?" aud consequei tly knows and will tell of the great beuelits of Hood Kiver Displays. A. I. Mason will give a heart to heart talk on the subject of grafting. He is an expert on this subject, aud nothing affords him greater pleasure than to graft a Beu Davis to a New town, unless it be convincing his neighbor he ought to do the same. Peter Mohr came hore when Mount Hood was a hole in the ground and apples were cheaper than spuds. To day he has oue of the prettiest laid out orchards in the valley. It is his pride. He will tell you so you can be just as proud. D. 11. Bears, a thorough orchardist with the latgest bearing orchard in the valley, has bad years of experi ence, consequently much is justly ex pected from him. Frank Stanton always doe" good work and cleau cultivating. Ue is in terested in the nursery business, and wants to help everybody. H. S. Ualligan wants every one to net good trees he has no others. Ho it is ud to him to give us pointers. E. A. Franz will get right down to business, because prices are what we want, and he knows junt what varieties the trade want ana pay nig prices for, and besides be will tell you what va rieties do well and bear well. His experience in the Union for two years has been a great object lesson. It la car loads that tell the story. Bam Campbell has seen many I grower throw away f-W gold pieces be cause he had uot been careful in hand ling his apples. He will tell yon how to prevent this loss. He will tell you how to grade and sort apples so the packers will have an easy job. Sam wants clean work and a fancy pack be cause be knows that will put the dol lars iu the growers' pocket aud make them happy, aud he wants us all to be happy. X. W. Angus saw all the packs as they came iu and If there was any fault bis eagle eye saw it, and be will tell us what to do "lest it occur again." C. II. Sproat, as a director of the Apple Growers' Union, will give a convincing talk ou co-operation and endeavor to enlighten the brethren In the dark. C. K. Marshall has been looking for a power spray ; hand work is too slow. We might add, pretty hard work, too. If he has found anything worth using he will lot everbyody know about it. Joe Portor is a firm believer iu ap poleuation aud will give us the benetit of his observations, which are certain ly very valuable. Kay Brock knows a thing or two about oider making. He has seen the work of "The Pure Culture" import ed direct from old Germany, where they know how to make oider lit for the gods. He learned this from a man who mode 3000 gallons of fancy older this year. K. N. Benson has a farm justly named Model Farm. If you don't set a tree rit'lit you will be left iu the race at the start. There are two ways to do it one is to jam the tree in a post hole ; the other way is the right way, which he will tell you about. Fj. 11. Shepard three years ago was a tenderfoot and raised more wormy apples per tree than anybody else in Hood Kiver, and ever since has been trying to learn how to kill the festive and elusive worm, that gnaws Into our pocketbooks like a cancer on a man's side. He always tits in the front row with the bald heads at con ventions aud other plaoes with his ears, eyes aud mouth wide open to get all that is going.

STEAMER REGULATOR BLOWN TO PIECES The steamer Regulator, which has been plying on the Columbia liver for a number of years, blew up Wednes day afternoon while she was ou the ways at Bt. Johns being repaired. In its account of the disaster the Jour nal says : Socou 1 Engineer De Monte W. Wade and bis assistant, Merrill B. Stovtou, were killed aud Daniel Keld, a ship carpenter, was seriously in jured. Marcus Talbot, general manager of the oo i puny which owned tho vessel, Bit ill that the boat was valued at ?10, (XX) and was insured for only about half that amount. Thecauso of the explosion will prob ably never be dulliiitely ascertained. However, it is believed that one of the two men who were killed Ignored the order prohibiting smoking. Wade and Bteytou had drilled holes in the starboard and port tanks and were connecting them when the explosion occurred. Men iu other parts of the ship were startled to see a great tongue of flame burst from the forward pait of the vessel and immediately there was a thunderous report. The flames shot high into the air. Men leaped for their lives. The 18 carpenters and laborers employed by the shipyard and the live deck bands in charge of Captain E. C. Alden jumped from the vessel to the llbts be low. Daniel Reid, one of the carpenters, was near the tank when it exploded. The burning oil was spattered over him and his clothing ignited. He rushed wildly about the place until be was seized by other workmen, who rolled biui in the shallow water near the beach, it was found that he had stilfered painful burns. He was re moved to tiood Hamaritan hospital, this city, where it is said that the wounds will not result fatally. Watchman C. Ducock was asleep In his room ou the upper deck when the explosion occurred Chief Engineer jc, r. Hniith lost a satcnoi containing a uubmer of valuable papers, flluO in currency and all his clothing with the exception of a single suit wnion ne threw overboard. Johu Maxwell and Aloxander Ander son, carpenters, ootn were luiurou, thouuh not seriously. They were at work in the bottom of the boat about 10 feet from the tank where Wade and Btevton wore working, making hole in which new Keel uiocas were 10 do nlucnd. When the explosion oo- eurred thev Mronpad through the hole to the platform of the docK. Both, however, were burned by the flames, which shot in all directions from the tank. The explosion was so powerful that the entire side of the hull was blown oneu. The bodv of Fireman Steyton was hurled through the opening and was torn in fragments. The flroboat (iooiee II. Williams re- snonded to a still alarm that was sent in an1 reached the scene in a brief time. The Bt. Jonbs hose oompany bad fought the flames bravely but was unable to check their progress. A number of plausible suggestions are offered as to what could have caus ed the explosion. One U that after the work of drilling a hole in the tank bad been completed the accumulated gas, in making Its escape, came out with suoh terrific force as to set the oil ou fire. The tank contained six or -seven barrels of liquid fueL WANT A VALLEY HIGHSCH00L ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING FOR IT Project Met With Unanimous Favor and Committees Were Appointed to Agitate the Matter With the enthusiasm characteristics of the valley for progre and enter prise, the meeting held at Artisans' Hall Saturday for the purpose of con sidering the proposition of building a high school for the olty and valley was an unqualified success. Delegations Including members of the school boards of Crupper, Odeli, Barrett, Fiankton,PlneUrove and this city were present and among all there was no dissenting voice. While some of the gentlemen piesent differed as to the mode of procedure to secure the dosired result, all were iu favor of the project aud gave voice to their sentiments. J. W.Ackermau. State Superintend ent of Schools, and County Superin tendent of Schools Notf were both present to present their views in favor of the sohool and to demonstrate what a great benollt it would be to the community of Hood Kiver valley. Prof Wiley or the Hood Kiver schools, 0.1), Thompson of the Barrett schools and U. W. Brown of the Frankton schools were alno present and spoke for the proposition, although the building or the school may mean that they would be foroed to go elsewhere to seek a livelihood at their vocation. Suoh a spirit of self sacrifice as this cannot fail to bring results, and it is thought that many who oame to the meeting with the idea of oposlng the high sohool plan or at best only luke- marm in their attitude were won to Its support by the position taken by these geutlemen aud also that of A. I. Mason. Koswell Shelloy, M. K. Noble and others who have taken no little pride in the local schools in their districts and have nurtured and watched them grow with the oar they would a pet orchard. At the o .'nolusion ol the meeting. however, all this feeling was eradicat ed aud a unanimous sentiment pre vailed that the sohool must be built. The meeting was called to order by F, C. Sherrlob, who was chosen as chairman, and O. II. Vaughan as sec retary. Mr. Sherrieb briefly stated the nature of the meeting and called upon Prof. Wiley to outliue its pur pose. Prof. Wiloy did so in a clear and sucolnot way and told of two plans that oould be used in obtaining the sohool. The first and the better plan he thought was to consolidate all the sohool districts In the valley in one dlstrlot with a'superiutendent and a proper stalf ofouloers and teaoheia under him, thereby establishing a thorough system of instruction that oould be obtained i no other way. To do this would require a petition from the taxpayers of each district to the oounty oourt asking for consoli dation and a vote on the question at the Juue election. The petition would require the signatures of five taxpay ers from dUriota of the third class and fifty from the second class. Dis tricts which have an enumeration of loss than 200 are rated in the third class, and over that iu the second class until an enumeration of 1000 is reached when the district becomes one of the first olass. Pupils entering the hiuh school would be taken from the eighth grade of the primary schools aud complete the rest of the oourse in the former, which would consist of four more grades. If the outlying districts in the valley felt that they did not want to give up control of their schools to oue centralized body the other plan was to establish a union high school to which the va rious districts would contribute their pro rata share of the sohool tax for maintenance. This, however, would lequlre an act of the legislature. , He also Bald that if the movement for county division was successful a county sohool could be erected whioh would be maintained at the expense oi the oounty, Mr. Bherrleb then asked bupeiin- tendeut Ackerman to spoak ou the subject whioh that gentleman did most Intelligently, answering objec tions and putting to rest many of the fears of the greater expense and also what was considered the most objec tionable- feature of the matter trans portation ot pupils. He said that a building such as was thought of would be adequate for the needs ot Hood Kiver valley oould be built for iiO.000, and cited as a case, Klamath Falls, where such a structure bad recently been erected, lie showed how the dlflioultles of transportation had been oveioome at Newberg and PHnevilie, where the system bad been inaugurated audldemoustrated that its oost would be less than two mills. His talk was both business like and enthusiastic and his answers to ob jections to the point and satisfactory. lo a question by JVir. btulen in con nection with the new school tnd the proposed new oounty, he said that if the taxpayers would vote to establish the school be would vote for Cascade County, a statement whioh was greet ed with muoh applause. At the conclusion of Mr. Aokerman's remarks, Mr. Mason said that he had come to the meeting with a great deal of pride in his heart for the little school at Pine Grove, but tint it bad been dissipated and he felt that the larger school should be built, and in reply to a statement of Mr. Acker man's that Hood Kiver would get a little the worst of the deal iu the matter of taxes be took exception and said that if it did it would be made up in another direction. However, be said that he was in favor of a con solidation of the districts Instead ot the union high school plan.
